While the others rest and sort their gear, Barhuce goes to poke around at one of the dead beetles. Attempting to extract out the bioluminous glands, he unfortunately punctures it with his dagger, causing some of the glowing goop to drain out of the bug's body.

Peering over the ledge in the east, Vri sees a collection of stalactites and stalagmites choke this low-ceilinged cavern, making it difficult to squeeze between them. Matching stalactites close in from the five-foot-high ceiling, giving the impression of a maw of needlelike teeth bearing down on one another. A dead half-orc sprawls on the ground near the cave’s eastern entrance, just too far from being able to be reached without climbing up.
